Offset lithograph on cream speckletone paper // Shepard Fairey's Eyes Open (2021) is an offset lithograph on cream speckletone paper, showcasing his signature blend of graphic design and socio-political messaging. The artwork features a red rose blooming from a globe, symbolizing awareness and the need for vigilance. The words EYES OPEN are prominently displayed in bold, red letters, encased within the globe, and beneath it, the word OBEY reinforces Fairey's call for critical thinking against conformity. The use of strong lines and a limited palette of red, black, and greenish-gray highlights the stark, bold style reminiscent of propaganda posters. This piece urges viewers to remain conscious and observant in the face of societal and political influences.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
